My question is about adding yeast. I brewed Jamils AG Russian Imperial Stout and left it in primary for a month. I racked to secondary and have been bulk aging for 3 months now.

I have a packet of Champagne yeast (Lalvin EC-1118). I am thinking to adding this end in order to get a really 'dry' beer. Have I lost my mind? :confused:
 
What was your OG and your FG?.....more than likely that long, it attenuated all the fermentable sugars it had available, adding more yeast to nothing left for it to eat won't make your beer any drier....

So yeah I'd say you lost your mind.....

Nothing new:D

I broke my hydrometer when I tried to get my OG but the FG is 20.
The reason I posted is because I thought maybe the WLP001 couldn't handle the high alcohol and may not have finished all the fermentables, hence the higher alcohol champagne idea.

I think I will go ahead and bottle it as is, thanks Revvy
